Jimmy Cliff Brown Eyes song lyrics

In your brown eyes I walked away

In your brown eyes I couldn't stay

In your brown eyes you'll watch her go

Then turn the record on and wonder what went wrong

What went wrong

If everything was everything but everything is over

Everything could be everything if only we were older

I guess it's just a silly song about you

And how I lost you and your brown eyes

In your brown eyes I was feeling low

'Cause they're brown eyes and you never know

Got some brown eyes but I saw her face

I knew that it was wrong

So baby, turn the record on, play that song

Where everything was everything but everything is over

Everything could be everything if only we were older

I guess it's just a silly song about you

And how I lost you and your brown eyes, brown eyes

Everything was everything but baby, it's the last show

Everything could be everything but it's time to say goodbye, so

Get your last fix and your last hit

Grab your old girl with her new tricks

Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes

In your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes

Your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes

Got some brown eyes, brown, brown eyes

Your brown eyes
